Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) is a unique bacterium in that it shares a common place with a number of chemical compounds which are used commercially to control insects important to agriculture and public health. Although other bacteria, including B. popilliae and B. sphaericus, are used as ...
Using worms to better understand how Bacillus thuringiensis kills insects NeilCrickmore, inTrends in Microbiology, 2005 Bacillus thuringiensisis widely used as a biological pesticide to control insects that either cause damage to crops or transmit disease. That it can also target the model organismCaeno...
Another strain of Bt,Bacillus thuringiensis aizawai(Bta) kills the larvae of wax moths in honeycombs. How to Kill Mosquitoes and Flies With Bt Fortunately, there is a strain of Bt that controls the larvae of many biting flies and mosquitoes!Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis(Bti) is commonly use...
The properties and environmental fate of insecticidal proteins produced by the bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis are reviewed. These proteins, either produced directly by the bacterium and prepared in formulations of biopesticides or synthesised by geneti
B. thuringiensis kills insects through the production of such toxins, designated insecticidal crystal proteins. Following ingestion of B. thuringiensis by susceptible larvae, these toxins initiate killing of insects through a multi-step process that includes the formation of pores and lysis of midgut ...
Bacillus thuringiensis Cry toxins are used worldwide for controlling insects. Cry1Ab is produced as a 130-kDa protoxin that is activated by proteolytic removal of an inert 500 amino-acid-long C-terminal region, enabling the activated toxin to bind to insect midgut receptor proteins, leading to...

Bacillus thuringiensis Crystal (Cry) and Cytolitic (Cyt) protein families are a diverse group of proteins with activity against insects of different orders... A Bravo,SS Gill,M Soberón - 《Toxicon》 被引量: 1632发表: 2007年 Mode of action of Bacillus thuringiensis Cry and Cyt toxins and ...
we report aBacillus thuringiensisdelta-endotoxin, Cry14Ab, that controls SCN in transgenic soybean. Experiments inC. eleganssuggest the mechanism by which the protein controls nematodes involves damaging the intestine, similar to the mechanism of Cry proteins used to control insects. Plants expressing ...
This chapter provides an overview of the biology of Bacillus thuringiensis ( Bt ). The chapter examines how the recently solved X-ray crystal structure of one Bt toxin allows to model the mode of action of a whole family of related protein toxins, and how a knowledge of the physiology of ...
